PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,992, dated November 20, 1888.

Y Application tiled March 29, 1F88. Serial No. 268,835. (No model.)

.To LZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN E. COLEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cabot Station, in the county of Lonoke and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to that class of plows which have the standard or foot-piece secured directly to the beam.

The object of my invention is to so form the standard or foot-piece that it will, when secured to the beam, serve as a colter-band.

The invention consists of constructions and combinations, all as will hereinafter be describedin the specification, and pointed out in the claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents aperspective of a plow, showing my device in position; and Fig. 2, a transverse section on line 2 2, Fig. l.

Arepresents the beam; B, the handles; C, the colter; D, the standard, and E the plowshare.

rIhe standard D is formed of two bars, d d', connected at their lower end by cross-bar d2. To the lower end the plowshare is secured in any desired manner. The bars d and d are curved toward the rear and then forward toward the front end of the beam and then upwardly at cl3-one on each side of the beam. The part that projects forward is parallel with the beam and is embraced by the handles B, which are secured to the beam by bolts b and V bone above and one below the bars.

If desired, one of the bolts may be passed through the bars; but I prefer that they be arranged as shown. The forward end or colter-band, cl3, is secured by bolt b2, which passes through the beam, and by bolt b3, which passes over the beam. The colter C is held against the beam by one of the parts d3, and is held in the desired position or at the desired angle by the bolts bz and b3, and may be removed from the beam by loosening bolt b2 and withdrawing bolt b3.

It will be seen by the foregoing that the standard or foot-piece can be readily attached to or detached from the beam, as it is only secured to the beam by the bolt b2, while at the same time the draft is provided for by the bolts'by which the handle issecured to the beam.

If desired, the colter may pass through the beam and be held in position by the bolts b2 and b3, and instead of embracing the bars with the handle the bars may be arranged to embrace the handle.

What I claim as new is- In a plow, the combination of the standard having the upwardlyvprojecting part d3, the beam, the handles secured to the beam and holding the standard in place, and the colter held in place by the upwardly-projecting part d3 of the standard.

In testimony whereof I ax my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN E. COLEMAN.
